Your speeches at Warsaw and at Riyadh spelled these values out clearly, and your actions are consistent with the ideals you described in those speeches. Those speeches were classic, and worthy of recording with the speeches of our other great Presidents and world leaders. I hope my grandchildren will study those speeches in school one day.

Your success in forming a coalition of Arab nations against ISIS, while affirming Judeo-Christian values, is a testament to those ideals. Jesus Christ was able to show kindness to those who rejected His teachings. That is the major difference between Christianity and radical Islamic terrorism. An ability to love and respect someone who does not agree with you.

You were prepared to take on the political establishment, and what’s more, you still show no sign of giving up when the Resistance grew larger than anyone can imagine.

You have also shown the willingness to change your opinion on an occasional campaign promise— I am no fan of war in Afghanistan, but I defer to you and to the generals, and see that you are sticking to most other promises, so it’s a mark of character to be able to acknowledge that you may have been mistaken in your position on one thing. America should look out primarily for her own citizens, but there are times that isolationism can be denial of the evil that needs to be confronted.

I pray for your protection, for the protection of your family, and for the Holy Spirit to continue to give you the wisdom and courage to do what you need to do.

A Few Words to My Fellow Citizens, On Both Right and Left.

A few words to my fellow citizens, on both right and left.

It’s impossible to say exactly how many Americans are on the right and on the left.

***

Since (even before Antifa and before the election) the left has been so punitive towards any expression of conservative thought, conservatives have quit participating in polls. Polls, both before and after the election have become useless in telling us what America thinks and feels. Much of America supports the conservative actions of our President, but is smart enough not to volunteer this opinion to anonymous thugs who telephone our homes prying into our politics.

***

Based on the results of the last election, trying to correct the results of polls for the silence of conservatives, acknowledging that some tactics on the left have even gone too far for Nancy Pelosi, I estimate that the right and left are split not 50/50 as previous polls and elections have implied, but closer to 67/33, implying the existence of a silent majority.

***

To the Left

To the left, we remind you that you had 8 years of a President pushing your agenda. Now it’s our turn. Lucky for you, we have a President who seems capable of disagreeing with you without sending the IRS, NSA, FBI, Antifa and every other form of persecution after you.

***

Under this President, you will be safe in your disagreement, and will just have to suffer compromise. Your biggest problem will be being subjected to hearing views that differ from your own.

***

To the Right

To the right, we point out an obligation, and it’s a big one.

***

One man cannot fight half, or a third of the entire country.

Or the bulk of the media.

Or the Washington entrenched establishment, where many politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to have chosen to personally profit from lobbyist funding, rather than to support wishes of the people they represent.

Or the Deep State.

***

It is the obligation of every person with conservative values to roll up their sleeves and support this President.

In every generation Americans have had to fight for what they believe in, and we do not live in some magical world where we are immune from responsibility, hard work, or risk taking to defend what we believe in.

***

To President Trump

***

To President Trump, I can only hope that you continue to have the courage to stick to your guns in the face of an opposition that you truly never could have anticipated, knowing that God has your back.

Many Americans are praying and have your back.

***

Please stick to your campaign promises, don’t give in and compromise (the left certainly never has!) and remember the the people who elected you still back you, and will continue to back you with prayers and with votes, as long as you stick to what will Make America Great Again — the restoration of Judeo-Christian values, law and order, and the Constitution of the United States.

***

Mr. President, PLEASE keep up the tweets, they are the only direct unaltered connection people like me have with our President. They allow us to see who is sane- our President, or the media.

***

And regarding any possible confusion generated by some of the vaguer tweets you have sent, most of your supporters realize that you have to throw a few red herrings out there in this time of war, and you cerainly cannot telegraph your certain plans to your enemies. Your supporters have to read between the lines, and to have some faith in you. During the last 7 months, this previously nervous supporter of yours has not been disappointed by you. So tweet on, truthful, modern President!

***

Be assured that you have many supporters, that the polls continue to be wrong, just as they were before the election, because your supporters have learned to keep their plans close to the vest, too, just like you do.
It is downright foolish to proclaim your plans to the enemy in advance.

I am sure you will see the fruits of your actions in the results of elections to come.
